mcnt which Leonard Brown was about to
add to his history of Whitngham called
ont an article of nearly half column in
the last issue of The Phoenix from Hon
Clark Jillson of Worcester, Mass At the
centennial celebration of Nottingham, Aug
Is, 1850, MIR. Jillson delivered the address,
referring at considerable length to the or
gunizatioA of the town. Mr.. Brown, who
was writing a history Of the town, ON ex-
aiming files and records was confident
there were many inaccuracies in that ad
dress, and in his history aimed to point
them out. To this Mr.. Jllson takes excep
tions. Authentic records must settle this
question and to them it is proper to appeal
1t seems ill-advised to resort to sarcasm
and personalities when historical questions
can be settled by permanent records. Mr..
JilIson was former resident of this town
and has friends and acquaintance here !;
Mr.. Brown is lifelong resident Of the
town, and as to character, integrity and in
tclligence is well known, and rs TO what he
has written he needs no defence, he can
and will speak for himself In due time.

The tendency of American ~wspape
to take understandable liberties with GER

an aggressive verb is an act as lawlcss as
it IL unpunishable. When "A reporter as
sorts hat John Smith suicided' he
makes his meaning clear, but he shocks
the nerves Of those conservatives who
base their English on dictionary prcce-
dent. ''Intervicw' used us u verb is an
other outcome Of journalistic indcpcnd-
ence. But even the two words cited are
by no means the most striking illustra-
tons Of the tendency referred to. A
western paper says that one of its sub

of Noah Webster, what a word 1t is on

list Of these vagabond verbs might be
indefinitely extended. but the above will
suffice.
1t seems TO be u characteristic of our
people to take the shortest road to the
goal Of their desires. The process of
turning nouns into verbs is one Of the
mos effective methods of making one

4 COSTLY LESSON.

The states are rapidly taking measures

authorities, and investors will place their
money accordingly. For any city, county,
state or territory to fail in protecting prop
erty or in securing to every man who
wishes to work the right to do so in safety,
will be to drive away business, lessen the
value Of every Investment, however
humble, which may have been made
by its citizens, and bring II greater
or less degree of loss and suffering
upon the community. 1t will soon be
perceived by all but the blindest of law
hating agitators and their dupcs that 1t
was absolutely necessary to preserve the
supremacy OF the law and promptly sup
press all outbreaks of mob violence. in
order to secure general business prosperity
and the protection of individual interests.

unjust demands of labor through the with
